Usually I wouldn't post to such a thread,
but Konami Man said something that touched
deeply my heart... ^^ When I first was an
MSX-enthusiast, Apple users in Brazil were
already almost dead, so I didn't pay atten-
tion to them. And, PC-wise, anything better
than a 286 with a CGA board and a monochrome
monitor was luxury and extremely uncommon.
So, it was quite logical to think my MSX
was the best system in the world. But I
drooled when I first saw an Amiga. What
power! What graphics! What music! Soon I
realized I'd never have an Amiga, then that
worship turned into hatred. "Why having to
wait so much for a game to load? Why all
those games are crap? Why didn't those pro-
grammers put music in the game, or why does
it sound like an Atari 1600? Why do you
have to buy an 1MB expansion?" and such
were my thoughts. Later, despite my adora-
tion to the Super NES, I bought a dreaded
Mega Drive. I learned how to like a system
no matter how many bits, kilo or megabytes,
hard or floppy disks of any size, if it
runs Maze of Galious or not. Now I see it
is much better to like ALL systems, becau-
se you can get the best of them. :)

I must tell you my utmost interest in any
system is sound. I even remember Atari 1600's
Frogger BGMs, and some remarkable melodies
from ZX Spectrum! `:)

Today, I still think the easier system for
music is MSX. And it does offer one of the
wider assortments of sound options, and
despite the fact most musicians would care
first for sound quality, I still think the
best is to care for sound variety. ^^
